This is the message I just sent a few minutes ago but I would like to  
add that I'm only using these drives to store media files.  This is  
not meant to be a bootable disk.  The NAS supports SMB and AFP out of  
the box.  There is a firmware hack available to get it to do NFS, but  
I have no idea if that will help me.  I don't think any of my files  
are more than 4gig or even 2gig.  I don't know any other advantage of  
NFS.

I have a Buffalo Terrastation network attached RAID storage drive.  I  
also have a LaCie Big Disk FW800/USB2 RAID external drive.  I would  
like to clone the contents of my LaCie drive to my new NAS.  I can  
mount my NAS share in the Finder and copy files to it, but I can't  
select the share in Carbon Copy Cloner nor Super Duper.  I tried just  
copying the files, but I got an error message that the file name is  
too long so it stopped copying.  The NAS has a web interface that  
says that the file format is XFS.  I thought it should handle long  
file names.  So, does anybody have any suggestions?  Thanks.
